The grating spectrometers on both instruments still continue to provide excellent data, while imaging calorimeters are being prepared for future missions like Astro-H and IXO. The synergy with other wavelength bands like the UV has been boosted by the addition of COS to HST. X-ray spectroscopy offers unique diagnostics to study almost any object in the Universe. This book contains review papers on highlights and the state-of-the-art of X-ray spectroscopy for a broad range of objects and on the prospects for future studies.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Jelle Kaastra is a senior scientist at the SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research. He has been working on high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of astrophysical plasmas since 1985. </p><p>Frits Paerels teaches astronomy at Columbia University in New York.</p>
